Question

How do the climatic conditions of san francisco, california, and wichita, kansas, compare, considering they are at about the same latitude?

Answer 1

San Francisco is located at 37.77 ° and Wichita at 37.65 ° latitude, despite being very similar, however San Francisco rarely has winter minimums that are below freezing or summer maximums that exceed 32 ° C, on the other hand, Wichita is susceptible to freezing from the end of autumn to the beginning of spring and reaches 32.2 ° C at least 65 days of the year. These differences are due to the fact that San Francisco is influenced by the marine effect, while Wichita is influenced by the continental effect.
